Jordin Sparks Quarterly Subscription Box Review #JOR01

This post may contain referral/affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

Jordin Sparks is one of the latest celebrities to join Quarterly, and of course I subscribed! (I’m always a little fascinated about celebrity subscription boxes and so curious about what items they will pick!

I think this is the item in the box I’m most excited about – it takes 8 sequential shots in one 35mm print. (I haven’t used a camera with film in years though – it’s going to be a little weird not being able to delete photos I don’t like, and having to go get them developed!)

And to personalize the box even more Jordin included two of her favorite recipes!

Verdict: This box has a value of about $95 – again not sure on the value of the perfumes. I think the value is good for her first box, and it’s nice to see what types of items she will be including – when I signed up for this box I had no idea what to expect!

Liz is the founder of My Subscription Addiction. She’s been hooked on subscription boxes since 2011 thanks to Birchbox, and she now subscribes to over 100 boxes. Her favorites include POPSUGAR Must Have, FabFitFun, and any box that features natural beauty products!

I feel like every single fancy box and almost every quarterly box is a big rip off! The first and second bill nye quarterly boxes literally had a value of like $20, if that, and you had to pay $50 PLUS SHIPPING!!

This is a one and done for me. Everything in the box (with the exception of the perfume and the recipes) seemed completely random. However, I don’t wear perfume, and I’m not sure why we received two of them. The recipe cards were a sweet, personal touch, but with my need to lose weight, these aren’t very appealing. One recipe calls for a pound of butter!

I had never heard of this camera before, but I looked up the reviews on Amazon, and the majority were 1 star. Some of the complaints were that it broke after the first roll (or was non-functioning right out of the box, it looks like a cheap child’s toy (I can attest to that), and the parts are very flimsy. While it’s listed with a $39 value, it’s for sale on Amazon for $28. Even at that price, people seem to think it’s overpriced, since with all the problems, it’s essentially a disposable camera, and that’s assuming you can get it to work at all.

I haven’t tried the mascara before, but I’d love to see if it works as well as described.

I like the camera which I never heard of before. It is something that I would want to try, yet I would not buy it for myself. I wonder if the perfume is the reason for the holdup since it is not available online yet.

Oh my gosh, I had a really similar experience!
I’ve got a lomo camera with a fisheye lens. When I got the film back, there were only two prints and they were blown up really poorly. I asked about it and they were like “Oh, I just don’t know what happened! The pictures all looked so weird!” D’oh!
Usually, if you send your photos away, you’ll get them all back regardless of how they look. But it’s still worth writing on the envelope that the camera is unusual. Haha
